Learning to Speak Effectively

Hello people of America! Today started out like every other day, I slept through breakfast and went to my first class at 10 am, Effective Speaking, basically public speaking but not because we will also be studying our vocals and taking care of them and what not. There are a few international students, but no other Americans, so I think I will be able to learn a lot from everyone in my class. This is my largest class at about 30 students. We also will do quick physical warmups every class. Today we do some weird rope exercise and that one where you have to grab hands with two people across the circle from you and untangle yourselves.

After that I was starving naturally so I went back to the lodge for lunch and then went to tan by the pool! Seriously hot today. Then I took a two hour nap! Then went to dinner. Very productive day as usual. After dinner I hopped on a free shuttle bus with some friends to a go to a pub sort of place in Palm Cove, only like ten minutes away. We hung out for a bit then went to walk on the beach at night. The stars were absolutely incredible, I wish I could have gotten a picture of them, there is so much less light pollution here. The mountains were silhouetted against the lights from the town off in the distance, the waves crashing, it was honestly just magical. No other way to describe it. After that we came back early and played Scene It! Just a very chill and happy Aussie day :)

Missing you all so much!!!
